Spite and Malice

Update Dec 3: the loud auto playing video ads are too much - uninstalled. Update Nov 30 2017: WARNING loud video ads now blare between games - brutal. Update of Aug 9 2016 brings vast improvements - I can finally see my discards - no more wracking my memory to recall what I buried four cards deep! Haven't yet tested Bluetooth to see if daily crashes are fixed. Ads now appear between games instead of at bottom, which I prefer (though I'd gladly pay for an ad free version).

Does not work on my tablet

In both medium and high the deck is stacked in the opponent's favour for most games. I've been playing S&M (lol) for years, both in real life & virtually, and I usually see more fair play in these apps. The Artificial opponent seems to always get the right cards at the right time, but throws you a bone once in a while by making "mistakes".

Love it and addicting. But can't access settings after last update. Fix it and I will make my rating 5 stars

good game but doesn't keep track of eons and losses

Fun & Well Done Spite & Malice was sort of a tradition among my family when I was young. So, I have been wanting to learn how to play for a while now. It's difficult to learn when there is no one to play with at the current time. So this game has been a great tutorial, & now I am hooked on it. Ads are not too intrusive. A small one at the bottom of the screen before a match & a full screen one between matches. So far no video ads. So if I'm not interested I can quickly "X" out of it & move on to the next round. Graphics are simple, & I like them. In my opinion, simple is sometimes better, especially in the cases of budget hardware. If you have an issue where the cards at the bottom of the screen are only partially visible at the beginning of a match, simple rotate your device to change the orientation & change it back. Or bring up a new window or the home screen, then switch back. Thank you for the free card game.

Hard to beat the machine but I don't think this game is a cheater.... Just a master of the discard piles.

This is a great game. There are quite a few play options and you can leave the game and return later and pick up right where you left off.

Great game.

I can't seem to report the inappropriate ads that keep appearing while playing this game, but be aware, it keeps showing ads for adult services. That's a big shock when my nephew borrows my phone to play a game. Think it might be because of the sites I visit? Then they have the wrong demographic. I'm not interested in sexy single females in my town broadcasting live videos.

Great Game!

Good game

One of the the best card game apps available

This recent update makes the cards so tiny that I can't see them on my phone anymore how do I install the previous version? Or in preferences choose a more readable card face? UPDATE 1 year later, still can't read cards, re-installing.

Why did they change this??? You can't change colors, cards..it's awful now. I uninstalled it. :(

...but does it really need to cheat?

Game ok 2 games in freezes up

Too many flashing ads!!

Thank you

This recent update makes the cards so tiny that I can't see them on my phone anymore how do I install the previous version? Or in preferences choose a more readable card face? Running out of memory. May have to uninstall and use a competing product.

It's really too bad because it is a good game, but the computer wins by a mile almost every game. Majorly rigged.

Update of Aug 9 2016 brings vast improvements - I can finally see my discards - no more wracking my memory to recall what I buried four cards deep! Haven't yet tested Bluetooth to see if daily crashes are fixed. Ads now appear between games instead of at bottom, which I prefer (though I'd gladly pay for an ad free version). responsiveness much improved. Nexus 6.

I want to adjust the card size and card backs.

It no longer looks like the previous version, nor does it look like the screenshot above. There's no options for changing the cards anymore and all my previous settings disappeared. Please change it back.

Don't like as well. Card faces too small

I love playing this game but I only gave it 3 stars because of the ads at the bottom of the screen. Some of them are fine but the ones that flash bright colors and move really fast are awful. I get migraines and the flashing ads can really hurt. I mainly hit the x and cover them. I don't see the need for all the flashing. If you are trying to get our attention you are not getting a positive reaction from me. I just turn them off. The also are very distracting when you are trying to play a game.

Would be fun but games cheats ... 7 kings in a row ... going from 23 cards to 4 cards. I have to close the game cause it's not fun!

I've had no problems with it freezing. I like the Bluetooth option. I like that I can play it with my husband and we don't have to go online to do it. The only thing I would like to see in the future it to be able to play with more than 1 person via Bluetooth.

Why did they change this??? You can't change colors, cards..it's awful now. I uninstalled it. :(

This is the best version of this game.

Until the last update that added adverts, the game was reliable and fun. Now it freezes all the time. Will uninstall until I start reading better reviews. Too bad.

Game keeps stopping. Have yet to be able to finish one game with out it stopping. F I xoxo this!!

Game is OK but has locked up numerous times in the middle of a game.

Its so addictive I love this game

For some strange reason the game now goes in the abstract just as you are about to win. Please fix

...but does it really need to cheat?

I learned to count both numbers and money playing this game with my Great-Grandma, Great-Aunts, and my Grandmother as a very little girl of 2 or 3 years old! I have loved it since! Highly recommend! Alot of fun!

Its for sure rigged the computer won 87 times in a row I loved it at first but not now. Dont recommend!

It just stops playing goes off and goes back to home page? Not a good game

considers a pile done when it gets to a queen.
